Post by: jwright9 on October 18, 2018, 09:07:51 AM

Looks like a pretty cool bass at a decent price.

This was my bass !
I installed the electronics; this is one of the best basses I have ever played !! No joke
It sounds like an Alembic not like a Smith .
Really really really a fantastic bass !
Seriously thinking of buying it again

Cool! How was the Demeter preamp?
I am also thinking of buying it. Looks like a sweet bass.

Demeter and Glockenklang make the best on board preamps in my opinion (besides Alembic and Wal electronics); the bass sounds amazing ! I’m not joking !!! It looks great too but the sound is off the hook! If you can buy it do it !!
I’m not exaggerating !
